# List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Kuwait

The Ambassador of the United Kingdom to Kuwait is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in the State of Kuwait, and head of the UK's diplomatic mission in Kuwait. The official title is His Britannic Majesty's Ambassador to the State of Kuwait.
The Sheikhdom of Kuwait became a British protectorate in 1899 after an agreement was signed between Sheikh Mubarak Al-Sabah and the British government in India, due to severe threats to Kuwait's independence from the Ottoman Empire. The British government was represented by Political Agents who were appointed by the Indian Political Service until 1948, then by the Foreign Office. In 1961 Kuwait became independent and the last political agent, John Richmond, became the first British ambassador to Kuwait.

# Rootstown Local School District

The Rootstown Local School District is a secondary school district located in Rootstown, Ohio, United States. The district serves approximately 1,300 students in Rootstown Township in Portage County and has three schools: Rootstown Elementary School serving grades K-5, Rootstown Middle School serving grades 6–8, and Rootstown High School serving grades 9–12. All three schools are located on a central campus along SR 44 between I-76 and Tallmadge Road, just north of the Rootstown town center. Each building is named in honor of a past prominent member of the Rootstown Schools.
Additionally, Rootstown Schools participate in the post-secondary program allowing high school students to take college courses while still in high school, and are part of the Maplewood Joint Vocational School in Ravenna with several other Portage County districts. The Rootstown Local School District was rated "excellent" by the Ohio State Board of Education in 2006, the board's highest rating for school districts.

## Rootstown Elementary School

Rootstown Elementary School, named in honor of Bertha Bradshaw, opened in 1958. Additional classrooms were added in 1959 and 1961, and the cafeteria was opened in 1966. The school serves over 550 students in grades K-5.

## Rootstown Middle School

Roostown Middle School is housed in the original Rootstown Township School, which opened in 1917. The building, named in honor of Mabel Schnee, is located on the south end of the campus and served as the home of all grades until the opening of the neighboring elementary school in 1958 and served as the high school until the current high school opened in 1966. Several additions have been made to the building over the years including: a gymnasium and additional classrooms in 1939; An industrial arts classroom along with more classrooms in 1950; as well as additions in 1954 and 1977. In 1998, a bell tower was constructed adjacent to the middle school and dedicated in honor of Dorothy Dundon. The Board of Education had originally purchased the bell in 1884 for about $60 and restored it when the bell tower was constructed.
In 2004, a sixth grade team from Rootstown Middle School took first place at the International Bowl competition for the Future Problem Solving program in the Junior Division (grades 4–6).

# Oma forest

Oma forest (“Bosque de Oma” in Spanish) is a work of art created by Agustin Ibarrola, a Basque sculptor and painter. It was painted between 1982 and 1985. The work is located in northern Spain, in a forest near Kortezubi (Biscay, Basque Country), in the natural reserve of Urdaibai. It is located very close to the Santimamiñe cave. It is also known as the "painted forest," or “Bosque Animado” which means “animated forest” in Spanish.
The work is considered part of the Land Art movement. Most of the trees are Monterey pines. The projects aims to display the horrible and ghastly harmony between nature and human presence by painting on the trunks of trees, human figures, animals and geometric shapes, some of which are visible only from certain positions. Agustin Ibarrola was inspired by the cave art in the nearby Santimamiñe caves, and he wanted to paint on natural structures with the same technique that cave people used to paint on natural rock formations.

## Relocation

In 2019, a fungal disease known as “brown band” began killing the painted trees, and this disease affected the bark of the trees and ruined the paintings. The Provincial Council of Bizkaia decided to reproduce the artwork in the nearby Basobarri Forest. The reproduction and relocation began around June 2022. The reproduced and relocated art installation won’t be available for public viewing in its entirety until the summer of 2023. The new collection will have 200 more painted pine trees than the old collection. In addition, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia claims that the new Oma Forest will be more sustainable, have greater accessibility, better maintenance, and that there will be safety systems to act upon in case of a fire or other emergency.

## Vandalism

Agustin is a member of “Basta Ya", a group which aims to aid victims of terrorism. Some 100 trees of the natural reserve were destroyed in 2000 and Oma forest was damaged to protest his stand. In 2003, 40 pine trees in Oma forest were vandalized for the same reason.

## In popular culture

* In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Grafaiai is a Poison/Normal type lemur-like Pokémon known for using its saliva to paint trees with elaborate patterns similar to those found in Oma forest, in order to mark its territory and lure its prey. Grafaiai is native to the Paldea region, which heavily resembles the Iberian Peninsula.
** The Tagtree Thicket is most likely inspired by Oma forest, and wild Grafaiai can be found there.
* Spanish playwright Pedro Víllora placed the setting of his tragedy Electra in Oma forest.
# Lake Conroe

Lake Conroe is a 21,000-acre (85 km$^2$) lake in Montgomery County, Texas, United States. Even though it is named Lake Conroe, only the southern third of the lake is in Conroe, Texas. Most of the lake is in unincorporated Montgomery County, while a small northern sliver juts into neighboring Walker County where the Baker Bridge is located. The lake lies on the West Fork of the San Jacinto River, just west of Interstate 45 off State Highway 105 in Montgomery and Walker counties. Lake Conroe is a popular attraction for boating, jet-skiing, and fishing.

## Situation

The lake runs through classic East Texas Piney Woods forests. Water quality is generally good, with an average depth of 20.5 feet (6.2 m), and a maximum depth of 75 feet (23 m). The controlling authority of the lake is the San Jacinto River Authority. The City of Houston owns a two-thirds interest in the lake; the SJRA owns one-third.
The lake extends about 21 miles (34 km) in length and covers 20,118 acres (81.41 km$^2$) with 5,000 acres (20 km$^2$) in Sam Houston National Forest and capacity of 430,260 acre-feet (530,720,000 m$^3$). Lake Conroe was conceived in 1970 as an alternative water supply for the City of Houston. The lake was completed in January 1973; it was filled on October 31, 1973.
A few celebrities, such as Rudy Tomjanovich, Roger Clemens, Aaron Gray, Colin Edwards, and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, have residences in the Lake Conroe area.

## Coast Guard Auxiliary

United States Coast Guard Auxiliary flotilla 6-9 operates on Lake Conroe with a volunteer staff since 1978. Currently the Flotilla is commanded by Jeff Huhs.
# USS Myers

USS Myers (APD-105), ex-DE-595, was a United States Navy high-speed transport in commission from 1945 to 1947.

## Namesake

Merton Bernell Myers was born 15 January 1921 in Long Island City, New York. He enlisted in the Navy 23 August 1939 at Indianapolis, Indiana. As machinist’s mate first class, he was serving on USS Eberle when on 10 March 1943 his ship intercepted German blockade runner Karin in the South Atlantic. Myers volunteered for the boarding party which tried to save Karin from demolition charges set by her crew. All efforts were to no avail; after helping his shipmates to escape the sinking ship, Myers was killed in an explosion. He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star.

## Construction and commissioning

Myers was laid down as the Rudderow-class destroyer escort USS Myers (DE-595) on 15 January 1944 by Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard, Inc., at Hingham, Massachusetts, and was launched on 15 February 1944, sponsored by Mrs. Ralph W. Myers, the mother of the ship's namesake, Machinist's Mate First Class Merton B. Myers. The ship was reclassified as a Crosley-class high-speed transport and redesignated APD-105 on 17 July 1944. After conversion to her new role, she was commissioned on 26 March 1945.

## Service history

After shakedown off Cuba, Myers moved to Norfolk, Virginia, where she trained officers and men assigned to new high-speed transports. After a period of refresher training in the Caribbean, she proceeded to Newport, Rhode Island, to train prospective crews for new aircraft carriers and cruisers. She operated along the United States East Coast for the rest of her active career.

## Decommissioning and disposal

Myers was decommissioned on 13 January 1947 and entered the Atlantic Reserve Fleet at Green Cove Springs, Florida. She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 June 1960 and subsequently sold to the government of Colombia for use as a floating power plant.
# Þursaflokkurinn

Þursaflokkurinn (English: the group of hobgoblins), often written in a simplified way ("Thursaflokkurinn"), were an Icelandic progressive rock group that was mainly active in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Similar to the Dutch band Focus, Þursaflokkurinn combined rock music with influences of classical music and jazz, enhancing their sound by adding elements of Scandinavian folk music and sometimes eccentric vocals resembling the Rock in Opposition work of, for instance, the Swedish band Samla Mammas Manna.
Since their foundation in Reykjavík in 1978, the group consisted of Egill Ólafsson (vocals, keyboards) and acoustic guitar, guitarist Þórður Arnason, bassoonist Rúnar Vilbergsson, bassist Tómas Magnús Tómasson and drummer Ásgeir Óskarsson.
Between 1978 and 1980, the band mainly played progressive rock with influences of folk, psychedelic and jazz rock. Most of the songs are based on Icelandic folk songs; especially the debut album includes many traditional folk tunes which have all been given a progressive rock arrangement.
The second album Þursabit has more psychedelic influences than the 'folkier' debut album and also features more prominent keyboards, for example the Hammond organ (played by the newly recruited keyboarder Karl Sighvatsson) and the electric piano.
The band's 1980 tour is documented by the live album Á hljómleikum and imports jazz influences into the band's music. A punk rock track at the end of the album became a popular and well-known song in Iceland.
On their fourth album, Gæti eins verið... from 1982, the band had switched style completely into playing new wave music. The acoustic instruments were nearly completely substituted by synthesizers; keyboarder Karl Sighvatsson and bassoonist Rúnar Vilbergsson had left the band.
After some recording sessions for a new album in 1983 and 1984, the band split. One reason was that the band's success did not spread outside Iceland. Egill Ólafsson started working as a writer and was a member of the band Stuðmenn in which other Þursaflokkurinn musicians also played.
Sometimes the band met again for one-off performances, for example for the memorial for Karl Sighvatsson, who died in 1991.
For the band's 30th anniversary in February 2008, all their albums were reissued in a mini-vinyl-box with a CD full of previously unissued tracks and live versions. In addition, there was a tour through Iceland in early 2008 with the small orchestra Capút; a live CD-DVD was issued in late November 2008 with the title Hinn íslenski Þursaflokkur og Caput.

# Swaner EcoCenter

The Swaner EcoCenter is a nature preserve and Utah State University Distance Education site located in Snyderville Basin near Park City, Utah. Swaner encompasses a 1,200-acre (490 ha) wildlife refuge, a 10,000-square-foot (930 m$^2$) state of the art environmental education facility, a 100-acre (40 ha) farm, and 10 miles (16 km) of trails. The EcoCenter works to preserve the land and the human connection to the natural landscape, to educate the local and broader communities about the value of nature, and to nurture both the ecosystem and the people connected with it. The EcoCenter was designed by architect Soren Simonsen to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) platinum certification, the highest standard set by the U.S. Green Building Council.

## History

The preserve began as a donation of 190 acres (77 ha) of land in 1993 by the Spring Creek Angus Ranch Partnership in memory of Leland Swaner. Over the next decade several parcels of land would be added, growing the preserve to more than 1,000 acres (400 ha). In 2003, Swaner purchased what is now known as the Swaner Farm, adding 107 acres (43 ha) to the preserve.
In 1933, the iconic white barn was built by the Fletcher family who purchased the farm in 1906 and operated it for more than 35 years. The Fletcher's sold the entire farm to the Wallin family who owned the land until 2003 when it was acquired by Swaner.
In January 2010, Utah State University (USU) President Stan Albrecht and the Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter Board of Directors announced that the refuge and center would be transferred to USU. The gift totaled in excess of $30 million, making it the largest gift in USU history. Just one year later, in January 2011, classes began at the center through USU Distance Education.

## Plot

Four teenagers in England deal with romantic endeavours during their final summer before they move away to attend university.

## Production

Savage was working on his short film Sit In Silence (2011) when he watched the German drama film Requiem (2006), featuring a performance by actress Sandra Hüller which moved him so much that he managed to arrange to meet her in Munich to discuss collaborating. After the meeting, Hüller introduced Savage to Philine Lembeck, a younger actress Hüller was mentoring at the time. Savage began writing the screenplay with the two in mind, taking a year to finish the final draft. The film was shot on a Sony FX-1 with an SG Blade 35mm lens. Filming took roughly a month, with its low budget totalling £5,000.
